The tolerable dose of intravenous ascorbic acid (IVAA) for cancer patients with normal renal function not receiving chemotherapy is 1.5 g/kg per 90 to 120 minute infusion (Hoffer et al, Ann Oncol 2008;19:1969-1974). Side effects are minimal to non-existent. In this dose-escalating study the IVAA will be 0.9 g/kg per infusion for the first chemotherapy cycle, increasing to 1.5 g/kg per infusion in subsequent cycles, for the first 3 participants. If well tolerated as expected, the initial dose will be 1.5 g/kg per infusion for subsequent participants. Infusions will take place 2 or 3 times per week, bracketing the days of chemotherapy. Standard tolerance and adverse effect criteria will be used. Therapy will continue for a minimum of 2 months, and continue further in the event of disease stabilization or response, as determined from CT scan and biomarkers, with evaluations continuing every 2 months.
